Church Notes: the present funerary chapel was the original parish church of Cegama in 1488 but an earlier Romanesque building may have existed on the site
Described in Kortadi (2000?) as a holy-water stoup of the Romanesque period in this rural chapel. Listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del romanico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/guipuzcoa_ZEGAMA.pdf] [accessed 26 November 2024]: "En esta ermita barroca se conserva, junto a la puerta de entrada y a modo de aguabenditera, un capitel románico realizado en piedra arenisca, correspondiente, por la dirección de la talla, al lado izquierdo de una portada o ventana. Muestra un mascarón monstruoso, de orejas puntiagudas, ojos almendrados y fila de dientes afilados, de cuyas fauces salen, simétricamente, unos ramajes entrelazados, que bien podrían ser lenguas o incluso cuerpos
serpenteantes, decorados con una fila de besantes. Este motivo ornamental es el mismo que el que aparece en la ermita de San Miguel de Zumetxaga, en Bizkaia, y que puede ser un tema original de la escuela de Estíbaliz, cuyos motivos ornamentales tuvieron gran difusión en el siglo xiii, no sólo en Álava, sino también en las provincias limítrofes. Esta teoría no es del todo aventurada si tenemos en cuenta que Zegama se encuentra, como se ha comentado anteriormente, en pleno Camino de Santiago y en una zona de paso que permite la rápida difusión de todo tipo
de información, y, cómo no, de nuevas corrientes o gustos artísticos." The entry in Eusko Ikaskuntza Multimedia fondoa [https://www.eusko-ikaskuntza.eus/eu/dokumentu-fondoa/multimedia-fondoa/mu-77197/#] [accessed 26 November 2024 has it noted and partially illustrated as a baptimsla font: "PILA BAUTISMAL ROMÁNICA DE LA ERMITA DE SAN BARTOLOMÉ DE ANDUEZA DE LA LOCALIDAD DE ZEGAMA."
